Not all of them fail, just the tests of the Text module.

We could maybe assume a default host encoding (utf-8?), a default 
language (en?) and a default country (uk? us?) when such a locale is 
found; and return the PDF_EBADLOCALE error/warning in pdf_text_init() so 
that the user of the library can issue the corresponding warning.
